No teacher promised to suppress this information expressed by others. Exposing details of the practice has nothing to do with the movement destroying itself. IMO the attitude that information must be suppressed is a much bigger threat to the movement than someone talking about their advanced technique. Everybody has their own relationship with promises made it the past and sometimes people feel that the integrity of those promises was broken by the movement. Expecting someone who no longer values the movement to abide by promises made when they were in it seems so unrealistic. It can be very liberating to discuss secrets openly. I think it is polite to include a spoiler alert for people who don't want to read such posts but deleting posts is a dark path IMO. Stay true to your beliefs about such things. But leave people alone who don't share your values. There are way too many POVs being expressed here to have any deletion policy be fair and unbiased. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, m2smart4u2000 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Rick Archer" <rick@> wrote: > > > > From: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > On Behalf Of m2smart4u2000 > > Sent: Thursday, June 05, 2008 8:02 PM > > To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com > > Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Promises and Ethics > > > > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com > > <mailto:FairfieldLife%40yahoogroups.com> , "Rick Archer" <rick@> > wrote: > > > > > > > > Which ones have I broken? > > > > Confidentiality of the techniques.
